About This Item
Springfield, MA: Gurdon Bill. Very Good. 1866. Hardcover. This vintage treasure has been rebound in sturdy burgundy cloth with the former owner's names in bright gold on the front cover, new end-papers have also been provided, 544 pages + 2 pages of ads, overall, especially considering its age, this is a very clean copy, we note the following flaws: the first original end-paper and the frontis page are damp-marked but the frontis engraving of Lincoln is unaffected except for a small area on his lower arm, the three additional engravings and their protective tissue-guards are foxed but the engravings remain almost entirely unaffected, page 123 has several tan lines caused by a dried flower but the text remains readable, pages 39 and 41 have a carefully placed (and unnecessary) piece of tape along the outer edge, lastly, there are two sections of misplaced pages, pages 513 through 527 follow page 496 and pages 497-512 follow page 496, please note that all of the pages are present, please see our photos .
Reviews
I am on Chapter 3 of this historically significant text. The attention to detail about Lincoln's early life and surroundings is captivating. The descriptions are like painted portraits. A must read for anyone who wants to know more about this American hero.
